Before I go to the Minister for her final remarks, I want to reiterate the point Deputy Carey made. I refer to the community employment and Tús schemes. The community employment scheme, in particular, has been around a long time. It has tended to evolve to reflect the economy, whether there was high unemployment and so forth. Apart from the benefit to the individuals who are participating in the schemes, they have a broader community benefit. It is important that the terms and conditions of the schemes are kept under constant review, both from the point of view of the community good and the individual, but also in the context of where the economy is.

There is a vote in Dáil, so we will conclude very quickly. I refer to a point that Deputy O'Dea raised. In regard to the Citizen's Information board, it was surprising that there were no savings as a result of the restructuring. I refer to mortgage interest supplement, which I have discussed with the Minister before. The Estimate for this year is zero, so how are those people being funded, or what has happened to them?
